Summary
"An old Parson, of Dr. Syntax type, falls into the water from his horse which rolls in the stream. His hat, wig, and 'Funeral Sermon' are in the water, where a dog chases geese. On a rustic bridge (right) two women and a child are watching in alarm, a milk-pail falls from the head of one of them. In the background (left) two horses gallop up a slope pursued by a dog, one rider loses his seat, the other his hat."--British Museum online catalogue.
